How do I record a PowerPoint presentation in YuJa using the software capture application (with multiple monitors)
Ensure your computer is set up to extend the displays rather than mirror them.
On Windows Press Win + P and select ‘extend’:
On a Mac go to >system settings, >display, <arrange, and ensure ‘mirror displays’ is unchecked.
Open PowerPoint and start your slideshow. PowerPoint should automatically put the slides on one screen and the presenter view (with your notes and upcoming slides) on the other. If they are swapped, click display settings at the top of the presenter view screen and select “swap presenter view and slideshow”.
In YuJa, click the Create Recording tab.
When the YuJa Software Capture window appears, take a look at the source area of the window. There should be three sources displayed; Video Source, Screen, and Mic Source. Having these three sources activated means that once started, YuJa will record from the webcam, mic and whatever is viewable on the computer screens that are selected. The menu on the left allows you to turn these sources on/off according to your needs for the recording.
Under the screen settings, adjust your display setting options. You will see options for screen 1 and screen 2. Select the monitor that is displaying the full screen presentation. Uncheck (i.e. ‘turn off’) the video for the monitor showing your notes.
Now you may click the START button to begin recording. a. Once the recording has begun, a small menu bar will appear on the bottom left corner of the screen. This menu will allow you to pause or stop the recording.
When the presentation is finished, click the stop button on the small menu bar to finish the recording. A Recording Session Has Ended message will appear.
Click Save to save the recording and to start the upload process.
Helpful Hint: Do not turn off your computer or disconnect from the internet until after the recording has completely uploaded. Recordings are stored on the computer until the upload has finished.
